here is the promised video

Please let me know what the difference is to yours.

Here is the screen after connecting - seems it does connect.


Here is after the jog attempt (after "Grbl error 15 ... Jog target exceeds machine travel".)


I have never gotten the Shapeoko to move at all via GrblGru.

Yes my Shapeoko has Grbl v1.1

[GrblGru]

Thank you for your feedback.
Can you please send me your GRBL settings ?

[swisscheese]

When I type $$ I get an unhandled exception and says "port closed"

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

Now I see "Error: Open Sio @ Port COM4" but the other day I think i saw it connecting. USB is plugged in, power on.

[GrblGru]

The "$$" command only works if GRBL is ready to receive.
Of course you can also use your GrblPanel to read the settings.

[swisscheese]

You want me to send you settings from GrblPanel?

[GrblGru]

No. I need the settings from your GRBL. I will compare your Grbl settings with my Grbl settings. .
But you can read these settings with any program that can do this. Universal Gcode sender, GrblPanel, GrblGru ....and many more

[swisscheese]

[GrblGru]

To tell you the truth, I don't have any idea what's going on right now. Your settings look fine.
I sent you a PM with my email address. If you are still interested in using GrblGru, I ask you to provide me with as much information as possible about the occurrence of the error. Some screenshots or better a short video, where you can see the controller window while Grbl is ready and the error occurs while sending the jogg command.

[swisscheese]

Here is a video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Yl9...ew?usp=sharing

[GrblGru]

Sorry, I should have seen it sooner. You have activated the "soft limit" monitoring. $20 = 1
I didn't do that because I didn't install limit switches and I don't use homing. Set $20 to 0. Then It'll work.

Because I also control larger machines I simply used 1000 mm path in the jog commands. I have to change that in the future.
Thank you for your patience.

[The_Dream_shed]

So you are going to eventually get to adding inches into your software (which is pretty sweet by the way). One other question that I have for you is this. I use Fusion360 for my CAM fork. that's what I do most of my work in for modeling. When I output the .nc file using the FANUC post processor, it (like on a normal CNC lathe) outputs "X" and "Z". is there a way to get the program to read Y as X and X as Z?

[GrblGru]

Sorry, Imperial mode is at the top of my todo list. But it's a lot of work, and right now I just don't have time to do it.

Since version V3.29 I have adapted the coordinate system in the lathe mode to the standard coordinate system of the lathes. (Z and X axis)
So it should be possible to process the Fusion GCode without any problems. Let me know if something doesn't work.
In this case the GCode file would be very helpful.

[The_Dream_shed]

I didn't have your most recent version. Awesome. I am very excited to get this lathe up and running! Thanks for the updates!!

[swisscheese]

@GrblGru

That was it - finally got is going! Thanks. Did not cut anything yet. On a dry run the steppers sounded a little rougher than usual - is there some setting to check?

[GrblGru]

Thanks for your feedback.
The movement itself is controlled by GRBL during jogging operation. You can try changing the acceleration value. ($120 - $122)
GrblGru only sets the feed rate. You can change it in the GrblGru settings. (see pic) Also note that the SHIFT, CTRL and ALT keyboard keys can be used to modify the speed.
Jogging with pressed SHIFT key = feed rate * 10
Jogging with pressed CTRL key = feed rate / 10
Jogging with pressed ALT key = feed rate / 100

[swisscheese]

Jogging is fine. When I run a program dry it sounds a little rough.

[GrblGru]

@swisscheese
In this case it should work exactly like with all other GCode senders. GrblGru only sends the command. Then GRBL controls the axes independently.
Please drive only a long straight line or a complete circle. Can you hear a difference?

[GrblGru]

Release note GrblGru V3.30

I am pleased to announce that GrblGru is now also available in Russian.
Many thanks to my friend 'Jony Silver' for his hard translation work and his help in revising the menu items and tool tips.

Have fun with GrblGru
